The Literary Vision of Copyright

Matthew Pearl, best-selling author and Visiting Lecturer at Harvard Law School participated in the Berkman Center Luncheon Series on February 27 to discuss: “The Literary Vision of Copyright.”

Download the audio podcast (time: 1:07:28).

Derived from his current course at HLS, Pearl considered how literary titans such as Twain, Dickens, Poe, and Whitman confronted copyright transitions in their time. From copyright clubs and associations that transformed the intellectual property map, to modern rhetoric about intellectual property and the large role it may continue to play separate from legal realities.
